#2 = The Front Mounting Plates have support arms. Slide one Arm into the other. Position the Front Mounting Plates
assembly as far forward as possible, with the Mounting Plate tongue over the front bulkhead of the truck bed. Slide the Front
Mount Plates apart so that they are flush against opposite sides of the truck bed. Measure the inside dimension of the Mount
Plates just above the Support Bar, and the outside dimension of the ridges (if any) on the bottom of your shell. It may be
necessary to notch this ridge to avoid interference with the Mount Plates. Position the Rear Mount Plates as far back as
possible on the truck bed rail, but do not overhang the tail gate.
NOTE: Measure the distance between the center of the slot in the right front Mount Plate to the center of the slot in
the right rear Mount Plate. Make certain distance is the same on the left side.
You may wish to notch the ridge of the camper shell (if any) front and back so that the Mount Plates can be slid in towards
the center of the truck bed to minimize overhang.
Note: If you choose to minimize overhang, be absolutely certain that the distance from the outside of the slot in the
right plate to the outside slot of the left plate is at least 67.5”.
#1 =
Remove your camper shell from truck. Note whether or not there is a ridge on the bottom of your shell.

#3 = With the Mount Plates in their final position, locate and mark two optimal bolt hole locations on the top of each Mount
Plate. The bolts should be located as far apart as possible, with clear access to the bolt and nut underneath the truck's bed
rail. If the inside of your truck bed has a double wall and it is not possible to locate a bolt on the Mounting Plate near the leg,
we recommend using our accessory STAKE POCKET "T" BOLTS to provide an additional attachment point. With the
Front Mount Plates in their final location, mark the through bolt hole in the inner Support Arm.
#4 = Remove Rack from the truck. Punch hole centers in the
locations that you have marked, and drill 2x 3/8" holes in each Mount
Plate and in the inner Support Arm.
#5 = Bolt the Support Arms together using bolt C , Flat washer
J, and lock nut M.
#6 = Set the Mount Plates back on the truck, in exactly the
same location that they were before. Make certain that the Mount
Plate is square with the bed rail. We recommend that you clamp
each foot plate in position before drilling through the truck's bed
rail. CHECK TWICE - DRILL ONCE!
#7 = Apply adhesive foam tape (NOT INCLUDED) to seal the
gaps between the foot plates and the camper shell along the
bed rail and bulk head. Attach the camper shell to the truck.
